After the Cherokee won their court case against removal, specifically in the landmark cases of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) and Worcester v. Georgia (1832), President Andrew Jackson is often quoted as saying, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it." This remark reflects Jackson's disregard for the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of the Cherokee Nation.
Jackson's administration pushed forward with the policy of Indian removal despite the court's decision, culminating in the forced relocation of the Cherokee and other tribes along the Trail of Tears. This removal was carried out under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which Jackson supported and promoted, leading to significant suffering and death among the displaced Native American populations.
